Look at this item on eBay #1744781430
I'm not trying to sell it of course.
I'm curious how it works. I've never used
a Deckel Mill so I don't how it works. Sorry
I couldn't put a link up I don't know how to.
 
Hi msrm,
That particular indexing "table" is mine (for the moment).
It works like a regular indexer in most regards, however, it has some advantages if you use it with an FP-1 milling machine it was designed for....
First, it "replaces" the actual table of the mill so you don't loose any Z axis clearance while using it.
Also, it not only rotates, but also swivels in two more directions so it becomes not only an indexer, but an indexer/angle plate combo. It also directly accepts the stock toolholders that would normally go in the spindle in addition to faceplates or chucks.
The over-arm and tailstock are removeable and are for supporting longer pieces.
Really a cool setup actually, and well built.

You can see a pic or two here:

Hope this helps
